Fantasy Football Live Match Chat and FF247 Site Team Gameweek 36+
GW36+ Deadline; Tuesday 14th July 7.15pm GMT
These game-weeks are turning up more often than a Trump gaffe but unlike the illustrious leader we have your best interests at heart.
So take note of this week’s deadline…. 7.15pm on TUESDAY. We had FF247’s very own Rosco joining Raz’s ‘Forgot the deadline club’ in GW35+ so be warned it can happen to the best (or sleepiest) of us.
GW36+ is a 4-day Tuesday-Friday game-week starting in West London and ending with a Friday night knees up in the East End.
Loads of opportunities for big hauls with Chelsea hosting Norwich, City toying with the Cherries (but who will Pep rest?), Everton having a pop at that Villa defence, the United scoring tour stopping off at Palace, Ings looking to do a Raheem to the Brighton defence and Antonio owners praying for a déjà vu.
As always we shall endeavour to post the line-ups prior to each phase of the relevant GW and our usual FPL Countdown Timer (to be found above the latest comments section) is once again active.
Tips will be dispensed in the chat below but feel free to get involved in said chat, whether that’s asking for advice or answering others.
FF247 SITE TEAM GW36+
Our GW35+ Result…
Saturday started off well with our new acquisition Cresswell getting a clean sheet. Unfortunately things went downhill from there! Foster inevitably conceded and then TAA was benched. Salah, KDB and Pulisic may as well as have been too for all they did. 17 points from 6 was looking a far way from our 114 heroics only a few days ago.
Our Sunday interest was limited to our other new acquisition Vardy. He duly delivered too, with a goal in a 4-1 hammering. Unfortunately it was the wrong way round, so much for chasing Bournemouth!
Monday saw us out with our treble Man Utd coverage and Ings. For the most part they had the same luck as the rest of the team. Ings, Greenwood and Wan-Bi combined for 4 points. Bruno at least got an assist and since he was our captain that gave us 10, not great, but compared to most of his mates, it was freaking awesome. This left us with a final tally of 38. :slaphead:
This bad GW led us to dropping 16,724 places and left us in 50,146th place in the overall rankings.
GW36+ TRANSFER
We have sold KDB and bought David Silva.
The transfer decision this week was painful, drawn out and not really concluded in an satisfactory manner, but this is what makes it fun and never boring. This week’s matches come just before the FA Cup semi-finals and as such we were led by Pep’s comments that he will make 5/6 changes to the midweek starting XI at home to Bournemouth. Cue the clamour to get in David Silva who has been in such sparkling form when he plays, but of course can’t play three games in a week. Home matches vs Bournemouth and Norwich seem the perfect opportunity to end his City career in a blaze of glory. Fair. But then from behind the curtain came the cry, ‘Vardy to Giroud’ as Chelsea host the hapless Norwich. It was an incessant cry that droned on and on before the committee could hear no more. ‘FCK GIROUD’. Which is a bit bizarre given this site’s infatuation with l’Adonis.
Onto the transfer decision and if we got Silva, who would go? Salah and KDB were mooted. ‘Vardy to Giroud’ echoed round the chambers. Again. And again. Foden to Silva? Couldn’t afford that. Unless we errrrm sold Vardy for… Giroud. However as you know this committee hates hits. Well 60% of them do. In the end our Giroud lover sulked off never to be seen again (for now) and he left with the strop, ‘I won’t be around tomorrow to write or publish. Do what you like, nobheads.’
Finally we plumped to sell KDB. It’s not a move we would have made if there was more of the season left and who’s to say we won’t yet buy him back for GW38? But for now Pep’s priority is the Cup semi-final so we are going with the belief that KDB will see reduced (hopefully zero) minutes vs Bournemouth and likewise at Watford just 72 hours later.
Cue the KDB masterclass. And Giroud hatty no doubt.
Our only issue then was whether to bench Greenwood or Vardy. Greenwood got the call up, given he plays vs Palace who look like they lost interest months ago.
GW36+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW36+ will be David Silva.
It wasn’t enough to be KdB’s replacement. No sir. The committee have gone all maverick and captained Silva. It could be gold! Let’s hope so. Just in case we’ve called Pep-tation all wrong, Bruno is our vice-captain.

Hi all
I had a similar poor week to the site team. I made my FT Kane to Jesus. However, should I just use my FH this week if not when? I also have TC chip left, when is best to use that?
Pope Martinez
Saiss Kabasele Aurier Garcia Robinson
Mane Willian Fernandes KDB Saka
Rashford Jesus Greenwood
Mr Go,
I have concerns you won’t get three defenders on the pitch this week. Still I don’t think that is worthy of burning your FH over.
With only three left I would be tempted to TC this week and FH on the final day when you can have a handpick of players who should be motivated. Usually big scores on the last week too.
Thank you!!! Worth a hit to get a playing defender? Who would you captain
I don’t think it is – closest it could be would be Azpilicueta or Alonso if you could afford wither from Aurier?
Many good captain choices there but I keep coming back to the fact (for my team) that the United boys are guaranteed to be needed so Bruno or Rashford are enticing me.
Who to captain, Jesus or Willian?
Jesus
I wouldn’t have thought I’d hear myself saying this two weeks ago, but after the Brighton game I think I’d go for Jesus. Two goals in two games.
Will say that Willian has some excellent returns too. What you fancying?
I have it on Willian at the moment, but Jesus may be more explosive I think, really not sure :scratch_one-s_head:
It could go wither way but City are more explosive than anyone else. Does that help?
Cheers GP, I’m chasing in my ML so I think I’ll take a chance on Jesus.
So heres where I am now, already used my FT for a 2nd playing keeper, BB coming for gw 37.
Going by the FDR on the ff side for 37 I have,
10 players with a 2 rating
3 players with a 3 rating (2 city plays so dose the rating matter?)
And the 2 with 4. Vardy and Robinson.
1.4 ITb Raúl is the weakest link but cant do him to jesus. Do I just stick?
Looks fine to me. I wouldn’t take Jimenez out in your case. I like his next two matches insomuch as he could get a steady goal in each of them. Could see him doing well at Chelsea too.
Cheers GP, I feel vardy has a few goals left in him too. That’s why I amnt doing him to jesus.
Will leave it alone so
Please check my team below
I have no FT and 2.8 in bank
Also what about captain ??
Looks good mate, would go with Salah or any United player as captain. Go with your gut
I’d play VVD instead of Lascelles but at the very least I’d move him up above Ward on the bench.
Would play Armstrong over Greenwood and VVD over Lascelles (Red flagged). Captain’s fine
Salah or Sterling?
Can’t decide who to go for!
I can’t decide either.
Do you mean to captain or do you mean sell one for the other!?
I am trying to decide if I keep salah or change to Sterling?
Keep one for other
Ahh yup me too!!
Hi all, wildcard didn’t go so well but onwards and upwards. I have 0 in the bank and I free transfer. Thinking to play bench boost this week but will wait on Aurier news.
Hi guys any thoughts?
Who would go for to replace Aurier?
I think a punt on a Southampton defender for him alongside your McCarthy might pay.
Hey GP. I’m not entirely sure. Also concerned about KDB due to rotation. Are you all set?
